# Market hours

> What changes when the market closes.

The market clock exists because the price feed prints 24 hours a day, five days a week.

On weekends and holidays there is no fresh price, so Stockline will not let risk go up.

The header always shows the clock. 09:31 ET · Market open in mint. Market closed · Opens Mon 09:30 in grey. Extended hours exist. The price feed keeps going until Friday evening.

US cash hours are 09:30 to 16:00 Eastern. You can still repay or add stock when the clock is grey. Borrowing and taking stock back wait for a live price.

Weekend sales to cover a loan use Friday's close minus a [2%](/resources/parameters) cut, not a Saturday price. See [Oracle](/concepts/oracle).

If you have a loan, a notice says: Prices are paused at Friday's close until Sunday 20:00 ET. Your loan is still open. You can repay or add stock.

Risk only goes up against a live price. Making the loan safer always works.
